let's first try switching off "error correction" in your iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
do the songs import any better with error correction switched off?

ITunes 11.1 on Windows 8 will not play/rip audio CDs

Problem:
I cannot play or rip audio CDs using iTunes on Windows 8. iTunes does not show any errors. It recognizes that I've put in an audio CD with tracks (and, in fact, matched the tracks in the iTunes database). When I click the Play button, it just skips from one song to the next.
Stats:
- OS: Windows 8 Media Edition/64-bit
- BDRW: LG WH14NS40
- iTunes: 11.0.1.126
Background:
I built a computer and installed a BDRW. The BDRW uses Windows drivers, so no additional software was installed.
The burner reads CD/DVD data and video just fine (haven't tested with BluRay yet).
When I put an audio CD in, I couldn't listen to it in either iTunes or Windows Media Player.
After following the directions here -- http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-pictures/dvdcd-player -not-playing-audio-cds-win8-laptop/791e04c0-628e-42a8-8014-43cc782511a4 -- I could hear it on Windows Media Player, but not on iTunes.
I could not rip any music using iTunes: all it did was create a bunch of 1kb files.
Question:
How could I have iTunes play Audio CDs again?
Thanks in advance.

Correction: iTunes 11.1.0.126, not 11.0.1.126

My computer no longer has audio and it won't play DVDs or audio CDs.

As stated in the suubject line, my computer no longer has audi and it won't play DVDs or audio CDs. It's an hp Pavilion dv6-6c 15nr Entertainment PC. I haven't had it a year yet.

Hyper-V guest machine unable to play or rip CDs

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 VM on which I would like to play and rip CDs. I defined the CD/DVD drive to point on the physical CD/DVD drive.
When I insert an audio CD, the VM detects the insertion but it is not able nor to play nor to rip files.
On VM I can correctly play MP3 and other media. Only physical audio CD cannot play.
Any suggestion on how to solve the problem?
Thank you.
Plo

I finally found the answer by myself. I start wondering what's the real added value of these forums, since more and more times we end users have to find the solution by ourselves.
To give some value to the time I spent, I would like to share the information.
Under Hyper-V on Wikipedia:
Limitations
Optical drives pass-through
Optical drives virtualized in the guest VM are read-only. Hyper-V does not support the host/root operating system's optical drives to pass-through in guest VMs. As a result, burning to discs,

Microsoft iSCSI initiator. Microsoft produces their own iSCSI Target software or alternative third party products can be used
Microsoft target cannot be used to virtualize burners as it does not even support pass-thru or partitions (old String Bean software target MS got in 2006 or so COULD do this), now only VHD and VHDXs on a formatted disks... And it never done any hardware
in pass-thru :) So only third-party software could be used. See:

That's a free product using OEM version of a StarWind (current V6 does not allow burners pass-thru in a free mode but in V8 we'll flex out this feature).
Good luck! :)

Suddenly unable to play or rip CDs.

Can anyone help? I was able to play audio CD's and rip CD's using iTunes, until today. iTunes detects the CD and will download the tract info from GraceNotes. When I try and play the songs, iTunes quickly scrolls through all the songs, but doesn't play them. I am able to play songs and podcasts from the library. I have no problems playing CD's using Windows Media Player. iTunes is set as my default audio CD player.
Thanks, WCTC

Zen V Won't Rip Audio

Everytime I try to 'rip audio CDs' it says 'Unable to load the database component. The program will now exit.'?Why?

Also, how do you rename an album/track?

Unable to import songs or play audio cds

I'm having issues with iTunes on my PC laptop. I used to be able to import cds with no problem. Now when I insert an audio cd, the disk shows up on my desktop, opens in iTunes, and finds the titles. When I select "import", it acts as if it is importing the songs REALLY fast. When I try to play one of these supposedly "imported" songs from the library it shows it's time signature as 789:57:13 and won't play (skips to next song, then the next until it comes to one imported before this problem began) or gives error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." It also no longer plays from an audio cd (skips through each song quickly without playing). Help!
If no one knows how to resolve this issue... is there an apple support phone number, a genius at a mac store or someone somewhere you could suggest who could help? (I'm well beyond the original 90-day support window.)

After update, cannot play audio cds (via kscd or dragon player)

Hello!
Subject says it all.
I just did a pacman -Syu on my system. Afterwards, I am now unable to play audio cds.... nothing happens.
I insert a known-working cd in drive, and I don't get any sort of device insertion notification from kde. Fine, no big deal. But when I open kscd, and hit the play button... nothing happens. Same with dragon. What happened? And how to fix?
Many thanks!

sorry corey_s , i have no idea .

Unable to play audio video files in solaris express

I am unable to play mp3 and avi files in my newly installed oracle solaris express. I have installed 'gnome-audio', 'gnome-media', 'gstreamer', 'gstramer/plugin/gnonlin' packages. I have even installed 'IPSFWmpeg' MPEG-1 liabrary from sunfreeware repository. All these softwares are shown as installed packages in my package manager. But still on playing any video in totem movie player or audio file in rhythmbox player, a dialog box with an error message is displayed "The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed".
What should i do to play avi files in Totem movie player and mp3 files in Rhythmbox music player? Please don't suggest other media players because i want to use only above said totem and rhythmbox and i want to know what's wrong with my software installations?

You can get a free MP3 codec from Fluendo (http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/fluendo-mp3-decoder/). There are some instructions on setting it up here: http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/playing_your_mp3s_with_songbird.

Front Row doesnt play unknown Audio CDs

Hi there,
I am using my Mac Mini as media center in our living room. After upgrading to Leopard I experience problems with Front Row and Audio CDs that are not known to iTunes or the CDDB database.
When I insert a brand new Audio CD or a rare or self-burned CD iTunes or Front Row wont (certainly) find the CD titles. In iTunes I can play that CD without problems , in Front Row however in the Music section the Audio CD appears as "Audio CD", and when I click on it nothing happens, it just sits there and wont play. This only happens with unkown CDs. All other CDs which titles are recognized will play without problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edward

I was just browsing the support for the same reason; I'm just setting my MacMini media center up, and the first CD my fiancee puts in is of course a CDR she got from a friende. It just didn't work, while it did in iTunes, although without any CDDB information.
I guess' I'll report it to Apple.

Cannot play audio CDs in totem

I have totem-gstreamer and the gstreamer plugins for cdaudio, cdio and cdparanoia.
I am in the audio and optical group.
The permissions of my cd-rom are as follows: brw-r----- 1 root audio 22, 0 2007-08-06 22:35 /dev/hdc
The audio CD appears as an icon on my desktop when I insert it.
No other audio application is running.
I can play audio cds using the cdplay program cdkit provides.
But, when I start totem the option Play Disc 'Audio CD' is greyed out.
I've tried turning HAL off and restarting totem to no avail.
I've tried totem-xine and still it does not work.
The only thing that does give some food for thought is that when I kill gnome-vfs-daemon the option "Play Disc "Audio CD"" disappears...
Help!

Hello arbee,
It seems certain that the problem lies with your CD player. It is well-known that many older CD players will not read CD-R discs. If you look at this two-year old discussion you'll see what the issues are for someone who had a similar experience to yourself.
This discussion also suggests that you might get better results from using a higher-grade burning programme, such as Toast -- but nothing's certain.
Best wishes,
Martin

simple : you put itunes application in a folder. then you reinstall itunes 4.7 for example. then put 4.7 at the end of itunes application name, same with itunes 5. then drop each of them in the dock. decide where you want to have all the playlists so you don't have to switcha ll the time between them. then when you need to listen to a cd or import mp3, you launch itunes 4.7. then the unknown artist folder in your home folder/music will be placed in a music folder somewhere on your HD. create playlist from this folder.
then you activate itunes 5 for ipod sync or any other purpose. when itunes 6 will be finally updated, you remove itunes 5 and the home/music files of itunes 5, then reinstall the new itunes 6, which will normally take over the playlists of 4.7.
apple makes it not simple but more and more complex so it has the greatness of sophistication and class but the weakness of complexity and bugs ! hope this does not last !
thanks for the beer, send it thru internet !

Quicktime and Playing Audio CDs - Why Can't I Select the Whole CD to Play?

I unfortunately agreed to update my Quicktime software when prompted by Apple. Since then, when I try to play audio CDs while working on my Mac, I have to select one song at a time and then select "play" in order to hear it. Now, only 48 hours ago, all I had to do was double click on the audio CD and the whole thing would play with no problem. This is why I am so wary of this so-called "convenient" and "user friendly" update alerts because you never know what the update actually contains and how it is going to change the behavior of your computer!
Anyone out there in the Mac community know how to fix this problem?

Anyone out there in the Mac community know how to fix this problem?
Would assume most people now use iTunes to import/convert audio files for playback/storage on their computer/iPod and/or burning of custom MP3 CDs which hold on the order of 10 times as much music and are compatible with most current generation CD/DVD players.

Audio CDs never play

Hi All
I bought a Powermac G4 400Mhz with 256 Ram a few months ago as a basic internet comp. I assumed the CD-RW drive would be able to play audio CDs, but this is not the case. It will play all CD-ROM (i.e. with software on), but with audio none work. It's a Philips PCRW1208, which does NOT support disc burning (as it states in system profiler). It's Protocol is ATAPI, if that makes any difference.
Would greatly appreciate your thoughts as I have not been able to rearrange my iPod library in over 6 months!

Hi
That model G4 never came with a CD burner, and the one you list was never supplied by Apple, hence the lack of burn support.
However, that really has no bearing on any drive's ability to read audio vs. data when it comes to CD's.
Check your SysPref/Hardware/CD&DVD"s settings for Audio CD's, if it is set to "IGNORE", it will do exactly that.
Since the drive can read other CD's, it is unlikely to be a hardware issue.

Playing audio cds

I can't seem to listen to audio cds. I can read data cds and XMMS reads audio cds, gets CDDB info, and even appears to be playing them but I can't hear anything. I think all my volume levels are set properly. amaroK only gives me a "Could not read AudioCD" error.
Any ideas?

whargoul, some time ago I solved exactly this problem in xmms with the solution that cdhotfire posted. Further, my experience is that xmms doesn't listen too well on changes in the preferences, so a restart (of xmms of course) may be necessary.
Cheers
